The heavy metal legends of Judas Priest, led by leather-clad frontman Rob Halford, will have another thing coming for local fans when they make a stop at the Freeman Coliseum next year as part of their recently announced North American tour in support of the upcoming album “Firepower.”

In fact, the band, which has been dominating the metal genre for more than 40 years, will wrap up the 25-date tour in San Antonio on Tuesday, May 1.

Concertgoers will be able to headbang to their favorite Priest songs, like “Breakin’ the Law” and “Painkiller,” and, of course, the newer tracks off “Firepower,” which singer Halford boasted is some of the band’s best work when he attended the Loudwire Music Awards earlier this week. The new album is currently slated for an early 2018 release.
